And what does that have to do with their registration fees and taxes? I see 30 trailers in a lot that never leave the state they are parked in and all have Maine tags.
BobGed is right on. And interstate trucking company are incorporated, and can be incorporated in many states, not just one. And when there is the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution which limits the states control over interstate transportation. And in many states, a trucking company does not have to pay sales tax on Class 8 tractors and trailers involved in interstate transportation. But don't worry, cause the trucking companies have to pay tax for every loaded and empty mile they travel on highways in each state.
